Back To Then

Sounds like everyone's already talking about
Where they'll be at five years from now
But it never dawned on me how close that is
And I know I'm not yet that old in age
And I still have many years left to my name
But these years seem to go faster the older I get
Time marches on, it's a matter of time 'fore we all get gone
But I never realized how soon that could be
And I know it happens naturally

But if there was a fountain of youth
You'd find me splashing around
'Cause these years are flying, I can't hold them down
I swear if I could, I'd do it all again
Take me back to then

Well, I'm glad I can't see what the future holds
So it's a surprise as I get old
And a mystery it is 'til the day I go
Hopefully my best days are yet to be
But I know those old days will be heard to beat
'Til then, I'll sit back, just enjoy the show

The clock doesn't pause for anyone
Just keep living out your minutes 'til your days are done
No, it doesn't hold up for anything
Time just moves on naturally

But if there was a fountain of youth
You'd find me splashing around
'Cause these years are flying, I can't hold them down
I swear if I could, I'd do it all again
Take me back to then

If there was a rewind button like a TV set
I'd be pressing that thing every chance I'd get
Just to make sure I didn't miss something
When it took me back to then

If there was a fountain of youth
You'd find me splashing around
'Cause these years are flying, I can't hold them down
I swear if I could, I'd do it all again
Take me back to then
